1-First Step: Prepare the produceStart by washing the cherry tomatoes and basil well. Pat them dry so extra water does not thin out the salad. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half if you want smaller bites, or leave them whole if you prefer a more rustic look. Pit the avocado and cube it into medium pieces so it stays creamy but still holds its shape.

2-Second Step: Gather the cheese and herbsAdd the mini mozzarella cheese balls to a large serving bowl. Then add the cut cherry tomatoes, cubed avocado, and basil ribbons. A large bowl gives you room to toss everything gently without crushing the avocado.

3-Third Step: Season the saladSprinkle sea salt and black pepper over the ingredients. Season just before serving so the tomatoes do not release too much liquid. This is one of the best tips for making a light caprese salad that stays fresh and appealing.

4-Fourth Step: Add the dressingDrizzle the olive oil evenly over the bowl. Follow with the balsamic glaze. If you like a stronger tangy finish, add a little extra glaze, but start small because it can become too sweet if you add too much.

5-Final Step: Toss gently and serve right awayUse a spoon or salad tongs to toss the ingredients very gently. The goal is to coat everything without breaking up the avocado cubes. Once combined, serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
